Happy 420, hail Santa π
and all that jive π
Just returned home after being in Phuket for over a week as I do a couple of times a year for both Thai/Khmer and western new years
I'm a beach bum and a cannabis tourist, so it's a no-brainer to hit up the westside of Phuket and enjoy an afternoon on the beaches. I stayed in the Kamala area for 4 nights and then went down to Kata area for a few more nights before heading home
First stop was Lime Street Dispensary in Kamala. Some super excellent cannabis in there at prices around 400 - 550baht. I fully recommend the Rainbow Cheese/Cheddar and Marmalade, two excellent and delicious strains that'll melt your face off. Nicely cured flower and nice grey ash on the doobies. Lime Street had some fair prices for tourists at their establishment for their caliber of flower on display, and they had some of the most superior bud for sale I saw this time around, too. They even did some small deals for me because of repeat custom, and they hand out the herb in those handy medicine containers. I'd go back to Lime Street in a heartbeat π
Another notable stop was Top Shelf Cannabis in Bang Tao who also had very fair prices ranging in the 350baht area. I was after a serious sativa to smoke for breakfast because I don't drink coffee, so I need a pick-me-up in the mornings. I bought a couple of doobies of the Hawaiian Fanta and was fully blown away it. It's 100% sativa as far as I'm aware. I'd hurry back there for some of that in an instant!
One more place that I'll mention is Extix Premium Cannabis who have 4 or 5 dispensaries dotted around the westside of Phuket. I went in one down by Kata beach on my last night as I had 24h left before my flight and needed a few more grams to tide me over until I flew. I think the deal was something like 700baht per G or save 100baht if you buy 3g for 2000baht, a bit spendy I know, but it was my last night and my money was still fairly under budget, so I thought I'd have one last splurge. I thought I'd get 3g for 2000baht and mix the herbs and bought 1g each of Da Vinci Cake, Extix Runtz, and Honeymoon Cake.
Unfortunately the Da Vinci Cake tasted bad and was slightly unsmokeable because it wouldn't burn properly and was nothing but annoying black ash. It was cured well enough as it ground up well in the grinder, so I don't know, I'm not a huge expert but Google says that maybe it hadn't been dried or cured right, pesticides in it possibly, high moisture content still, or maybe even the old wives' tale of not being flushed properly, I don't know, but it was kinda grim to smoke unfortunately, and the same could be said for the Extix Runtz, too. The Honeymoon Cake was pretty tasty and fun to be fair, so I guess I just got slightly unlucky possibly. Live and learn
I still couldn't find good consistent edibles. I like to eat an edible most evenings, so easier to buy a bag of gummies than having to deal with cookies and brownies, especially in this heat. I never found the dosage to be what was written on the package and buying a bag of gummies ain't cheap either
I'd say personally Kamala and Bang Tao was the cheapest and fairest I found weed at around 350 - 450baht average per gram, Patong is obviously <deleted> mentally overpriced going from around 600baht to 1200baht per gram, and down south prices were in-between the aforementioned areas at around 700baht per gram from what I saw myself in the dispensaries I would pop my head into. Deals can be made when purchasing 2 or more grams
